"Robert, are you tired?" Elliot looked at Robert. He seemed a little groggy. "If you're sleepy, I'll get the bodyguard to send you back to the room."Robert was not tired, but he also did not want to continue listening to them chat, so he reached into Elliot's pocket.Elliot knew what he was looking for, so he took his phone out and passed it to Robert.When Robert got his father's phone, he obediently followed the bodyguard back to the room.Natalie said with a smile, "He is so young, yet you gave him your phone to play with, that's not good, right?""He's calling his sister," Elliot replied.After the bodyguard brought Robert back to the room, Robert skillfully unlocked Elliot's phone and found Layla's contact. He called her.Layla soon picked up."Layla! What are you doing?" said Robert in his crisp voice. When Layla heard Robert's voice, she instantly said, "Why are you not on a video call? Did you call me on your own?""Yes!" Robert obediently answered. "Daddy is still

"Layla, when your Daddy and I were in love, he had made many promises to me before, but they all became the butt of a joke later on." Avery did not want to upset Layla, but she also did not want her daughter to trust other people's words so easily and get disappointed."If there comes a time when he does lie to me, I will not let him go!" Layla puffed her cheeks up and said, "If he doesn't stick to his promise, I won't want him anymore!"Avery caressed Layla's head. "Don't think so much about this. Let's go out and have some fun." "Hmm."In Bridgedale, Elliot and Natalie arrived at the Dream Maker building to meet up with the managers of Dream Maker to discuss the collaboration.They were invited into the guest room and told to take a seat. The secretary poured them some water."Mr. Foster, Miss Jennings, I never thought that you would be so punctual. We initially wanted to tell you beforehand, but after thinking about it, we thought it would be better to tell you in person." Th

The necklace looked very familiar. It was the necklace from the set of jewelry that Avery had planned to buy for her, but Natalie snatched it away."Only the necklace?" said Layla, looking at Natalie. "Aunt Natalie, why are you hiding the bracelet? Or have you given it to some other child?"Natalie's face flushed red. How did Layla know about the matching bracelet? Did she guess?Elliot saw how impolite Layla was, and he immediately said, "Layla, you—""Elliot Foster, shut your mouth up!" Layla furrowed her brows and yelled at Elliot.Natalie was shocked. Even Mrs. Cooper was shocked.Layla calling Elliot by his name was already very rude. How dare she lose her temper at him!This was the first time that Elliot had been yelled at by his daughter in front of someone else. He was in a daze."Layla, you shouldn't talk to your Daddy like that. I do indeed have the bracelet. I wanted to give it to you next time. Since you like it, I'll go get it for you right now." Natalie wanted to

Layla said that he made Avery feel aggrieved. If what Layla said was true, then Avery truly did resent him, despite him not knowing that she had wanted to purchase the set.She answered the call in a matter of seconds."Hello," said Avery in a calm voice."A week ago, you cursed me to death, was it because I helped Natalie buy the set of jewelry that you wanted?" Elliot asked. "Layla told me everything just now."Avery was stunned. She had already told Layla not to tell him. She had not expected Layla to tell him anyways."Yes, are you going to laugh at me for being childish?" Avery retorted."I'm sorry," he said after hearing her answer. "I didn't know that you wanted the same set of jewelry. Natalie didn't tell me about it.""Don't blame Natalie. She wasn't there that time. She didn't know that I was the one bidding against her assistant."Elliot wanted to explain to her that Natalie rarely asked him for help, which was why he helped her that time. However, he felt that eve

Avery blushed. "Mommy was worried about you! But I see that you're happy now.""Because I have chased away the person I hate! She will never come to our house again!" Layla pulled Avery into the living area.Elliot stood in the living area, looking at mother and daughter.Layla smiled as if the unpleasantness had not happened. He had already called Natalie and told her not to come in the future, and he got the driver to return the necklace to her. Natalie had apologized to him and told him that she had not known that Avery was there at the auction. Elliot believed that she was not lying, but he was feeling sorry for Layla and Avery."Avery, you even bought a cake?" Mrs. Cooper saw Avery and said passionately, "Why don't you stay for dinner? Treat it as a pre-birthday celebration for Layla!""Mommy, if you have nothing to do today, stay and spend time with me!" Layla said coquettishly. "We'll go fetch Robert later.""Where did Robert go?" Avery asked."He went to Aunt Shea's.

"Layla, I'll change. I won't eat alone with Aunt Natalie anymore. I won't let her come over to our house, too." Elliot promised Layla. "In the future, if she asks for my help, I won't help her.""That's more like it!" Layla liked Elliot a little bit more."Avery, I also hope that in the future, if there is anything, you will tell me about it first," said Elliot after he was satisfied with his progress with Layla. So, he turned his attention to Avery, who was on her phone. "For example, a week ago, you knew that I was the one who had helped Natalie buy the set of jewelry that you wanted. You could have told me about it first. No matter how you yell at me, as long as you tell me what happened, I will thank you."Avery never thought that he would suddenly talk to her. He even had a look that demanded justice. "You were helping Natalie to buy something, why should I contact you?" She asked in return."If you don't tell me, how would I know that I have helped someone take away somethi

Avery thought that Elliot was leaving. Instead, he walked to where she was sitting and took a seat next to her. She barely gave it a thought and moved aside a little."What are you doing?" Looking at the familiar face so close to her, she could not read his mind."Why did you say that my apology to Layla was not sincere?" His tone was lower than before. "This is when I'm around. When I'm not around, what do you tell Layla about me?""I tell her whatever you suspect I tell her. You really are confident if you think I tell the children only good things about you." Avery smiled. "If you want me to praise you, sure. Hand over the custody of the children to me, and I'll praise you all you want."The calmness on his face was no longer there."Avery, you said that no matter what I did, I would find an excuse for myself. Since when have I found excuses for myself? No matter what I do, I do it with a good conscience.""Conscience? You want to talk to me about conscience? You dare say yo

Just then, a blue car stopped outside the yard, and shortly after, the bodyguard entered the living room to inform Elliot about it. "Mr. Foster, Ms. Jennings is here. She says she is here to look for Avery."Avery immediately glanced outside the door.She had not officially met Natalie, and it was unexpected that she would look for Avery at Elliot's house.Without a word, Elliot strode outside and Avery followed closely behind, wanting to know why Natalie wanted to speak to her.Natalie held a jewelry box in her hand, and the moment Avery spotted the box, she came to realize why Natalie had come."Elliot, Miss Tate." Natalie watched as the two stepped out of the house together and was filled with envy at how compatible they looked."Natalie, I thought I'd been clear with you on the phone." Elliot scowled. He sounded annoyed. "Don't come to my place again. We have nothing else to talk about apart from work."Elliot's tone was hardly polite, and if those words were directed at Ave
